I’m so excited for Seanan! How to express my feelings. No time to do that. Let me sum … More Review: Every Heart A Doorway by Seanan McGuire

4.5 out of 5 stars I’d have a heck of a story to tell my mother. Papa Legba, the god of the crossroads was alive and well in the country of his origins. That’s epic. Even now, I wonder how much he had to do with what was going on. Papa Legba loves trouble. I … More Review: Lagoon by Nnedi Okorafor

4 out 5 New Stars This is book 1 in the York series **edited to fix – I don’t think the series should be called York. The series should be called The Shadow Cipher, but no one asked me.

3 out of 5 Parasitic Stars I just… I didn’t like it. It makes me sad. I love Seanan McGuire/Mira Grant so much, but I actually found this tedious. The main character, Sal, is a miracle. She survived a horrible accident that left her supposedly brain dead… the key word being supposedly… because she sat … More Review: Parasite by Mira Grant

4 out of 5 Stars This is the 7th book in the original Dune chronicles, written from notes left behind by Frank Herbert, the writer of the original books. I actually enjoyed a Dune book.
